Barn Owl

Outside Phetchaburi, Thailand

Taken during night time. This picture is taken in the light of some flourescent lights hanging in a nearby tree. It came out way too dark, the evualative metering couldn't correctly measure this low light scene. Anyway I just pushed it 1 2/3 fstops and I was surprised to see how little noise there was. After cleaning up with some noise reduction the picture looked OK and should print 6x9 just fine.

The composition is wrong here because when I set the composition the bird was looking the other way (to the right) and when I was ready to take the picture he turned the head of course.

Canon EOS 50D ,Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS USM ,Canon EF 1.4xII
3.2s f/8 at 840mm iso800 pushed 1 2/3 fstops to iso2000, live view, RAW full exif
